Don't forget we are talking about the Crimes act, and in the very first section it says ignoragance is not a defence.
For example, if I murder someone but don't look, I can't say that I'm innocent because I didn't see myself committing the crime.
I'm clearly giving a warning via the SMTP greeting line. A user claiming they have not seen it is not a defence.
But someone spamming through their ISP's outgoing mailserver *can not* see the HELO/EHLO line of the recipients mailserver. So they *can* claim they havn't seen it. Of course, their own ISP could put something in *their* servers HELO/EHLO to say that spamming isn't acceptable, but thats a different matter. Regards, Simon
